Publisher's summary

The first page of Joel C. Rosenberg's first thriller, The Last Jihad, put listeners inside the cockpit of a hijacked jet, coming in on a kamikaze attack into an American city...but it was written nine months before September 11, 2001. As Jihad unfolds, an American president finds himself in a war with Saddam Hussein over terrorism and weapons of mass destruction...but it was published five months before the actual war with Iraq began.

Rosenberg's second novel, The Last Days, opens with the death of Yasser Arafat and an American president pressing for peace in the Middle East...but it was published 13 months before the actual death of Yasser Arafat.

Now comes The Ezekiel Option, an explosive new political thriller that literally feels ripped from tomorrow's headlines. With Saddam Hussein and Yasser Arafat out of the way, a dazzling era of security and prosperity seems to have come to the Middle East. With the help of an American president trying to spread freedom and democracy, the Israelis and the Palestinians have signed a historic peace agreement. Violence is down. Their economies are booming.

But a new evil looms on the horizon. A dictator is rising in Russia. Iran is feverishly building nuclear weapons. A new Axis of Evil is emerging, led by Moscow and Tehran. And Jon Bennett and Erin McCoy - two senior White House advisors - find themselves facing the most chilling question of their lives: Is the world rushing to the brink of an apocalypse prophesied more than 2,500 years ago?

Critic reviews

"The book is better written and more complex than Left Behind, to which it will inevitably be compared." ( Publishers Weekly)

Predictive History

As a believer in Jesus Christ and Scripture teaching, I find Joel C. Rosenberg’s books very interesting. The Ezekiel Option does not disappoint. Lots of thrilling action and political drama, along with the Truth of what will happen as Time as we know it, comes to an end.
Mr. Rosenberg also makes sure to include the Gospel as he relates the changes that happen in an individual’s life once that individual recognizes his/her sins and asks for God’s forgiveness and for Jesus to save his/her soul and be Lord of his/her life.

Awesome!

Awesome!

Highly recommend! I wasn't blessed to hear bk 1 & 2 in this series, but this was great! Can't wait for book 4.

Fantastic!!!!

This book was fantastic. It is the best in the series thus far. I love the fact that he included so much scripture in laying the groundwork for his premise.

Great Series!

I have now listened to the entire series. I really liked the stories, and was amazed at how well he called some of the happenings in his book in parallel with what is happening right now with the middle east and our economy. I have been recommending this series to all of my friends and family. It is less preachy than the left behind series, and i appreciated all of his information he included in his story about what part of the Bible he was using as a basis for his fictional story.

Wonderful Book
